DODGE THE DEVIL:
What West has tried to do here, among other things, is to blend the real, historical Dodge City with the imaginary Dodge seen in the GUNSMOKE TV series. The real Dodge had a town marshal and also a sheriff, the two being frequently at odds. West omits the sheriff, but includes real inhabitants of Dodge such as Doc Holliday and Bat Masterson. He also includes the "Deadline" and the civilized half of Dodge, not seen or mentioned in the TV series.

This tie-in novel brings fresh enjoyment to fans of Dodge City's iconic
peace officer. For more than fifty years, Gunsmoke tie-in novels have
been entertaining us. I count 16 of them so far:
1.Gunsmoke:Adventures of Marshal Dillon, by Don Ward,1957.
2.Gunsmoke:Showdown on Front Street, by Paul S Newman,1969.
3.Gunsmoke, by Chris Patton,1970.
4.Gunsmoke:The Renegades,by Jackson Flynn,1974.
5.Gunsmoke:Shootout,by Jackson Flynn,1974.
6.Gunsmoke:Duel at Dodge ... Read More

I loved this book. I did notice that Mr. West has been paying attention to at least some of the things for which fans have criticized his Gunsmoke novels about--in particular, he's made Dillon a U.S. marshal, as is correct. This is the first of West's novels I've read, and I will say that his characterization of Matt Dillon is much more reminiscent to me of the TV (and even the radio) series than the Gary McCarthy book I read. I can't say there were no technical goofs, because I don't know enough of the ticky ... Read More

I seldom read Westerns though I did a great deal when I was a kid. I stumbled across this book in WalMart and assumed it was the only Gunsmoke novel until I saw the #6 on the Amazon Page for Gunsmoke: The Day of the Gunfighter.
I did love the Gunsmoke TV show and it was fun to see Matt Dillon interacting with Festus, Doc Adams and Miss Kitty again. There are the expected gunfights, actully a lot of them with at least three super gunfighters and anotheer 17 geared to kill Matt or have another gunfighter ... Read More

Yes, there are some inaccuracies, but these books are quite entertaining. I read the first three of Mr. West's books in two days, and enjoyed them. This is one man's interpretation of Gunsmoke, and just like any Gunsmoke fan, he writes according to his/her own slant and preferences. If you love Gunsmoke and would enjoy some new stories, these are fun.
